AMD says that not only will its new CPU stomp all over Nvidia's new CPU - three times the performance per watt on a rack-scale deployment - but its current two year old CPUs already deliver twice what Nvidia is promising. (WCCFTech)

Promises vs. promises is all whatever, but promises vs. currently shipping product when the currently shipping product wins is not great for Nvidia.

What's more, Intel's current CPUs are nearly 50% faster than Nvidia's future CPUs in the same tests.

17 Anne Schedeen:

The wording was her family's choice. Bad choice.

(The Mirror) Schedeen's family revealed her death in a loving statement online, which celebrated her legacy and her hatred for American president Donald Trump. They posted a note to her Facebook page on the evening of 14 June to confirm the news.
‌
The statement read: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share Annie has passed peacefully. She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of creative energy, whip smart humour, delight in her family, adoration for little dogs, burning hatred for Trump, passion for second-hand thrifting, and love for a good story. We are bereft without her. We loved her so so much, as did all who met her."

21 I dimly recall that "Star Trekkin'" thing playing on the old Dr. Demento show in the late '70s. Never have I seen a video of it . . . but the Claymation creatures are perfect for it.

I'm up a little earlier than I planned -- no, Stirling is not to blame -- sipping my coffee and seriously contemplating taking a day off from my workout. It is 83 F. outside, and I made the mistake of looking up the heat index.

It's 93. At four a.m.

It will probably be no better tomorrow, except that we have a 60% chance of rain today; yesterday there was not a hint of rain. Maybe, maybe, the afternoon temps will not get as high today. (Gah.)

26 Imagine either of two scenarios:
1) your hatred of one single politician for a couple years is so lurid it becomes a defining characteristic of your entire time in this earth, overshadowing everything you've ever done or accomplished

Or

2) your family's hatred of one single politician for a couple of years is so monstrous that they shove it in to your obituary after you're gone and can't do anything about it

Either one is darkly hilarious and pathetic.

28 "Burning hatred of Donald Trump" isn't even interesting. It's Gleuchschaltung. It's boring.

"Burning hatred of Olympia Dukakis" would be worth pointing out as singular and noteworthy.... but still kind of gauche.

Imagine defining yourself or your loved ones in terms of who they hate, and then patting yourself on the back for your virtue. **That** is exactly how Nazis come in to power.

31 Well, the latest house possibility has slid away. This was a nice bungalow, 3BR/1ba, with garage and screened front porch, solar panels, and a Generac backup system. Alas, the garage would have needed a motorized door (I don't want to be opening and closing a garage door in the rain) . . . and the owners have put up a wooden fence and gate which *blocks access* by car to the garage. What . . .? I guess I see where the money went on that one. Somehow I think I can do better.

The cool thing, though, was that the house next door was a sort of New Mexico style that looked like it was constructed of adobe. Wildly out of place in the neighborhood, but I liked it. (No For Sale sign, though.)

35 So weird to put her attitude about Donald Trump in an obituary.

What other JFK era Democrats did she hate? JFK himself?

When you consider the past as being a foreign land, you start to understand how these cretins misunderstand EVERYTHING that didn't happen in front of their eyeballs and ears which are attached to their tiny brains.

I doubt that it is as chaotic in Iran as Russia during the Russian Civil War:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6F1c3qLpEE

Nonetheless, the people with whom the USA are negotiating "deals" aren't the people in power in Iran. One may consider that those people are those the USA *want* to be in power in Iran and react accordingly.

Dunno how strapped for money you are, but those 2 things are fixable. (The garage door solution is simple and on almost any new construction; the external gate is simple, but non-standard.) If the house was "meh", then don't waste the money.

It's especially awful in that it was 73 at 11 am yesterday in Terre Haute. Overcast, but breezy, and *73* while here it was over 85.

Love the video! Stirling is not quite that weird. Well, at least no weirder than other cats I've known.

Oh, I know they can be fixed, and money for that is not an issue. But the house was just okay, not an "I love it!" like the one I put the offer in on that was going to run $30K to make it livable and safe.
